This Companion Cube cake was made by my mate Chris‘ girlfriend Jen for his birthday.
It was very tasty.

Fail whale Cake
The “Fail Whale” is a fairly iconic image that anyone who’s used twitter has probably seen at some point, unless you never use the web interface or have been really lucky. This cake was created by Mariana Pugliese a cake designer from Buenos Aires.
Interestingly the Fail Whale was designed by a Chinese illustrator Yiying Lu and was originally an elephant:
You can learn more about how this iconic image came about by watching the following interview with her:

Birthday Cake For an Apple Fan-Boy
Steve Jobs would have celebrated his 57th birthday this year my friend Chris is a complete Apple Fanboy and his birthday is a day later than Steve’s. So his lovely girlfriend Jen made him this cake depicting him and Steve sitting next to one another on a cake in the shape of an Apple logo.
Chris is such an Apple fan-boy that someone gave him a framed picture of Steve Jobs and he kept it on his desk at work, often referring to him as his “lord and saviour”.
The Cake was Accompanied with a set of Cup cakes with iOS icons on them:

The discerning consumer might notice that that is an IKEA chopping board.
In case you are wondering what is going on behind Chris, he’s recent’y started to learn some card tricks, I assume that is a magic wand (He’s going to go see Paul Daniels soon which he keeps on saying is going to be the highlight of his year), the can is a can of IRN BRU, and I assume Chris has been watching Game of Thrones on his Laptop.
I ate way too many of these cupcakes…
Optimus prime cake…
Not quite as good as the pacman cake Jennie made for me this year, but given the response the pacman cake garnered yesterday I figured I’d post this.
Last year Jennie made me a transformers cake in the shape of Optimus Prime (I can’t really think of a good pun for that caketimus prime just sounds lame).
The cake is a mixture of carrot cake (My favourite cake) and chocolate cake (everyones favourite cake), the wheels were made from sugar icing and were ludicrously sweet.
Contrary to what many people seem to have inferred Jennie is not my girl friend, she’s my girl friends ex-flatmate, who just happens to be obssessed with making cake.
If people are still interested in Jennies cakes I’ll see if I can’t get her to dig up some more. Maybe even set up a cake blog for her.
Pacman Cake
My friend Jennie made me this amazing pacman cake for my birthday.
It’s a banana cake with yummy butter icing.
The Ghosts were banana, whitechocholate and cherry cupcakes covered in sugar icing. Everyone felt guilty eating them they looked so cute.
Of course that didn’t stop Annabel…
Shee looks a bit manic in that photo…
